PrintBaltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays, Aug 19, 2009 7:08 PM EDT
Chris Tillman (1-0, 4.98) makes his fifth start for the Orioles. Since lasting 4 2-3 innings in his July 29 major league debut, the rookie right-hander has pitched at least six innings in each of his past three starts.
He earned his first win in Baltimore's 16-6 rout of the Los Angeles Angels on Friday, allowing three earned runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings.
So, let's try and win a game, huh? Or maybe, just maybe, let's catch the Washington Nationals for the #1 pick next year.
Michael Aubrey is expected to report in time for the game is being evaluated by coaches. But he won't get in tonight. Per Roch:
Reliever Jim Johnson will rejoin the team tomorrow after flying back to Baltimore yesterday for the birth of his daughter, Abigail Grace. Danys Baez has inherited the closer's duties, if the Orioles can take a lead into the bottom of the ninth.
First things first.
Manager Dave Trembley told reporters earlier today that he wants to take another look at Luke Scott at first base, which explains why Michael Aubrey isn't in the lineup. Scott replaced Aubrey Huff on Monday, but he didn't get many chances.
The Orioles want to check out his footwork around the bag, his ability to handle ground balls and his positioning on cutoffs, among other things.
Scott would be an option at first base next season if Brandon Snyder isn't ready on Opening Day, Aubrey and Rhyne Hughes can't win the job and the club fails to add another player through free agency or trade.
A few more interesting notes, also from Roch:
Since Tillman entered the Orioles' rotation, the starters he has faced (Zack Greinke, Justin Verlander, Brett Cecil and Jered Weaver) are a combined 51-23 with a 3.45 ERA.
The Orioles are on pace to win 25 road games this year, which would mark only the second time since the league went to a 162-game schedule that they've failed to win 30 away from home in a season that didn't have a work stoppage. The 1988 Orioles were 20-61 on the road.
So, let's go O's! Unless it's in our best interest not to.

I hope he’ll be there in time for the game since he pinch hit last night :)

At this point...
their stadium is almost prettier than ours. Yes, I’m still bitching about The Hilton.
And they play in a WAY easier division. If they ever got their crap together, their path to respectibility is a lot easier.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
I dont have a problem with the Hilton per se
My issue is with the terrible architecture. It may have actually been a nice addition if they did the whole thing in brick similar to the warehouse. They even did brick for the first few stories and then gave up.Whoever picked out that grey siding should be fired, it almost looks like insulation or something and they havent finished it yet.
That is EXACTLY what my side said.

Although there is nothing necessarily wrong with rosés
I guess you could theoretically make a decent white zin, if you used good grapes. But i dont know anyone that does. zinfandel vines are so low yield that all the good grapes are used to make real zinfandels. The big producers then plant lower quality higher yield vines to make white zins.
i will just always take red over white
except if im eating and or cooking fish

One of my professors absolutely despises Rent
He once told us if that play was the writer’s legacy, he should have died sooner.
wow.
that’s pretty cold, given the actual events.
and rent is pretty genius, although if Larson had lived longer, I like to think he’d have edited it down quite a bit.

He was a pretty caustic guy, even for a law professor. Awesome though, as long as you could handle being picked on a little and could take the humor.
i'm just being overly sensitive
apologize, because i’m really not name-droppy, but i know a few people who knew larson. they were devastated by what happened, and for good reason.
to hear some professor using his death as a punchline in an effort to reach his students is a bit sickening.
but then again, everyone jokes about death when it’s not personal.

On a related topic
Last month, British wine expert Michael Broadbent filed a libel suit in London against Random House over Benjamin Wallace’s best-selling book, The Billionaire’s Vinegar. Broadbent, the legendary former head of Christie’s wine department, alleges that Wallace defamed him in his gripping whodunit about the so-called Thomas Jefferson bottles—a trove of wines initially said to have belonged to the oenophilic Virginian but now almost universally believed to have been fakes. Three of the bottles, all Bordeaux, were auctioned off by Broadbent in the 1980s, and of the many wine luminaries caught up in this saga, his reputation has suffered the most damage. Broadbent contends that he was falsely depicted in the book as being complicit in a crime. But his suit makes no claims one way or another regarding the authenticity of the wines that he sold, which can be taken as an acknowledgment that the evidence is not in his favor. Broadbent can’t undo the fact that he was at the center of what now appears to have been the greatest wine hoax ever perpetrated.

Thats basically my take right now.
I have a hard time listening to any fire Trembley talk until someone puts forward a better serious candidate.
Yep. I have called for him to be fired but who would come to Baltimore?
He made some good points. Especially the non-player angle to include the bench coach.

The pitching I am not worried about. We will get better in a year or two there
What scares me is our inability to hit ML pitching regardless of who is on the mound. It has to be the mental approach because we have the talent. We just can’t get it done with the bat on a consistent basis.

Dam!. They are trying so hard for that last playoff spot
Freaking Akron, Erie and Reading have kept their entire lineups virtually all season except for a few guys. The Baysox have lost 6 starting pitchers and we never got a replacement from Frederick for Snyder. Brad Kommisk has kept that team together somehow.
Just so you know each player will sign anything you want and take pictures too. Bowie management will try to limit some players (Tillman, Matusz, Snyder and I guess Bell) to just two items and no pictures. But it all depends on the crowd. Players are very friendly at Bowie

He got out of it
with a double play and a strike out.
7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 6 K, 100-63
(my subject in the above post should have said trouble in the 7th)

He was really unlucky in his last start
Struck out 7 in 5 2/3 and still gave up 11 hits. So he got 17 outs, 10 not with a K, and gave up 11 hits. I def recall a few bloopers and bleeders and swinging bunts, etc
Can i just say:
The Orioles are absolute SHIT.

Brian is so lazy
that he hits a ball that requires he only jog, not run.

Only reason he did that was he didn't want to have to leg out a double

Only 2 down, C’mon O’s
July 29th What a GREAT day for pitching! Chris Tillman makes his MLB debut, and the Phillies get Cliff Lee, who just won a Cy young Award! SWEET!
wow
our lead off hitter is the power horse now! i don’t know if I want to be happy or sad.
3 more runs and we can see Baez pitch tonight!

we might get to see Baez pitch either way

Sorry for the confusion

What's pissing me off more than the O's?
Baseball Superstars. I hit like Melmo and it’s aggravating.

Strike 'em out throw 'em out!
and a fly ball.
Nice work Chris Ray

I'll take it
Delayed strike 3 call, Matt threw before the call was made, nails the runner.
Well, Matt’s still got his head in this game, anyway.

didn't really look like a strike to me

Great baseball there to appeal and throw to second, good job MW

At least we have a decent 4-6 in the lineup today
No Huff or Mora or Wiggington getting in the way
Not that itll matter in the 9th, mind you

I'd say we have an excellent chance
Too bad you can’t trade draft picks. I’d love to hold the PHN hostage for that one…

Thankfully no lottery in baseball
so they could tank it if they wanted to!

5 games"behind" the nats, 1 behind KC and Pitt record wise

It just doesn't seem fair how we get our ass kicked day in and day out.
Success in 2010. Playoffs in 2011. Go Orioles!
I didn't see any asskickings today
I saw a game that could have gone the other way pretty easily were it not for a nice play from Jason Bartlett

And some pretty damn good pitching
by a guy with 11 wins on the year.

Who threw pretty well
except for 3 really flat fastballs.

I have a theory as why luke hit so well before
first half most dominating pitchers are not locked in. he can only hit medicore pitching. Now he is auto out….
You may want to ask Roy Halladay about that
Justin Verlander, too.
Your theory has giant fucking holes.

If you want people to call you Jordan
You should have named yourself Jordan here.
